Chapter 115
Evadne and Thaddeus had officially called it quits after three years of marriage.
It she remembered correctly, it should have been Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday bash next, followed by that guy’s wedding to Acacia.
Acacia finally got her wish and was then able to strut around the world, flaunting her new status.
Thinking of that. Evadne felt no regret, only blessings.
Because only Acacia was worthy of Thaddeus, only she could make their love last.
In the evening, Evadne returned to Skyrim, accompanied by Cas sius, Arnold, and Jason.
“Evadne!”
As soon as she stepped through the gates of Silverlake Harbor, a sweet voice echoed from afar.
Evadne’s eyes lit up in delight, and she responded warmly, “Nydia, how have you been?”
Emeric’s youngest daughter, Nydia, was the first to rush out of the long corridor, chirping like a bird from the forest, eager to fly to Evadne.
“I’m great! I’ve missed you so much!”
Nydia hugged Evadne tightly, her lively eyes filled with tears and her nose turned red.
“Hey, hey, no tears! Aren’t you happy that I’m back?”
Evadne hugged Nydia tightly around her waist and planted a kiss on her smooth forehead.
“You’re not going to leave again, are you?”
Nydia, with her adorable face like a budding flower, asked tearfully.
“I’m not going anywhere this time. I’m back to help Emeric manage the Ashbourne group, to reunite with all of you. I won’t leave again.”
Seeing Nydia’s worried face, Evadne felt a pang of guilt.
She was too headstrong in the past, chasing after freedom, chasing after what she thought was true love, overlooking the precious bonds of family around her.
Thankfully, she was back home then.

Her heart melted whenever Nydia called her.
“That’s…that’s great! Everyone’s been waiting for you to come back!”
Nydia chatted with Evadne for a bit, then politely bowed to Cas sius and Arnold.
“Cas sius, Arnold.”
“We’ve told you countless times that there is no need to be so formal. Just interact with us like you do with Evadne.”
Arnold sighed with a hint of affection in his heart, “You’re like a sister to us, just like Evadne.”
Nydia shyly nodded, but she knew she wasn’t the same as Evadne.
“You seem skinnier. Have you been working hard?” Cas sius asked gently, noticing her appearance.
“I’ve been preparing for my graduation performance recently, so I’m a bit tired. But it’s okay. I enjoy the process!”
Nydia’s eyes sparkled and there was a hint of nervousness in her voice as she asked quietly, “Will you guys come to my graduation performance? It’s okay if you’re busy. I was just asking.”
Cas sius replied, “We’ll be there.”
Arnold echoed, “We’re going!”
“Of course, we’re going! Do you even need to ask?” Evadne put her arm around Nydia’s shoulder and said, “As long as you give me a heads up, I’ll clear my schedule for that day just to be with you.”
“I’ll definitely let you guys know! Thank you for coming!” Nydia’s voice trembled with excitement.
Evadne gently stroked her hair.
Nydia was both sweet and considerate, never causing trouble for the family. But her sweetness made Evadne feel sorry for her, feeling that she deserved better.
As the youngest daughter of the Ashbourne family and Myra’s only daughter, Nydia, should have been the darling of the family. But Evadne, as Emeric’s eldest daughter, had always taken the spotlight, outshining Nydia.
Yet Nydia never envied Evadne. Under Myra’s guidance, she learned from a young age to respect her elders and care for her brothers.
Once she grew up, she never asked for a dime from the family, earning scholarships every year and working part-time when she had the chance. Her life was so ordinary that her cla**mates had no idea she was the daughter of a wealthy family.
But Evadne knew that Nydia had always felt inferior, feeling that she was not truly part of the Ashbourne family, making her humble towards everyone in the family.
“Are there extra tickets? Can I go too?” Jason suddenly asked.
Nydia looked up, her face flushing when she met Jason’s bright gaze.
“Yes, there are!”
“Great, then I’ll go with everyone.” Jason’s smile was as warm as the sun.
He watched Evadne and Nydia grow up, still remembering how Nydia followed Evadne around, eating candy when she was six or seven.
Evadne didn’t suspect a thing, as Nydia’s cute face and shy personality often made her blush.
But what she didn’t know was that Nydia had been secretly in love with Jason for seven years.
“Let’s go. I’m starving. It’s been so long since I’ve had Myra’s cooking. Let’s go eat!” Evadne took Nydia’s hand and walked towards the villa.

Chapter 115
“Mom’s still preparing dinner. You guys came back too early. Dinner’s not ready yet.” Nydia swung Evadne’s arm like she used to do when she was little,
“Ah? But I’m starving!” Evadne’s stomach growled.
“How about some snacks first?” Jason gave Evadne a piece of chocolate from his pocket.
Evadne naturally turned her head and took a bite of the chocolate.
Seeing their intimate interaction, Nydia pursed her lips, a sour feeling rising in her heart.
She knew Jason had always had a crush on Evadne. She had noticed it since they were kids.
Jason could have followed in his dad’s footsteps and become a top-notch lawyer or charm the courtrooms as a prosecutor like Arnold. But all he wanted was to stick around Evadne, even if it meant being her secretary without any room for promotion.
